Swim Meets

Chad and Halle took on a new challenge this summer - swim meets.  They started participating in swim team last summer.  But, they only went to the practices and didn't want to compete at all.  This year I decided they needed to do the meets.  Chad was very excited and Halle did is grudgingly after accepting many bribes.  The meets were much more fun than I thought - I really got into them.  Chad and Halle did really good too.  Unfortunately all the swimmers are inside the pool and all spectators have to stay outside.  That means there is a fence between you and your child - doesn't make for getting good pictures.  Oh,well.

Halle competed in the medley relay, the fly, the breaststroke, and backstroke.
